And, if you are not having issues yet but want to use the warrenty to avoid the problem you will most likely be refused, as you will see from a post I will paste at the end of this message.
We took out a loan of $6000.00 to have our transmission and radiator replaced, and now our Pathfinder has been sitting at the dealership repair shop for several months waiting for a new transimission.
The dealership repair shop has finally admitted how bad the situation is and that they are now also not getting straight answers from their own Nissan headquarters. They may not be as PO'd as those of us getting ripped off but they are a close 2nd not getting support or answers while they take the heat instead of those above who created the problem to begin with.
From another post from this site:
"Add me to the list of victims owning a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder. I contacted Nissan in regards to the transmission/radiator issues. I currently do not have the mixing of fluids (yet) but wanted Nissan to take precautionary measures by replacing the radiator BEFORE this happens and ruins the transmission. I was told directly by Nissan consumer affairs that they will do NOTHING until the failure occurs. In other words, they want the consumer to wait until the radiator cracks and leaks fluid into the transmission (destroying the transmission) until they will even address it.
I was told that they would not send me case to a regional representative because "NO PROBLEM EXISTS." This is a failure on Nissan's part to do what is right. They want to extend the warranty for "failures only" to 80,000 miles despite the average failure rate for this problem occurring just beyond 80,000 miles (see the link below):

By insisting that they will not fix anything until the problem occurs, Nissan stands a much greater chance of these vehicles reaching the warranty mileage limitation. I will be writing a letter of complaint to the Nissan CEO, the BBB, and the state attorney general.
Who would be foolish enough to wait until the problem spills into their transmission (possibly with their family in the car) to address this issue. That would be irresponsible of me as a consumer just as it is irresponsible of Nissan as a corporation! James of Cincinnati, OH"
Do your Due Diligence!!
Good luck.
Wanted to warn you all. My paint is peeling like crazy. I took it to the dealership and they said, yes defective and NOT environmental. They said they havent seen anything like it. So, thats on another call with their idiots for a regional manager to call me back to tell me they wont cover it because of the mileage..Im very sure of it.
ALSO. My cd is now stuck in the player. Can eject it nor play it. It just decided to quit.
I have a SE..so 1 single player. But I just laugh now. I call it my junker. Looks good on the outside but garbage of a vehicle.
Do you all look at other Pathfinder owners out and about and want to talk to the driver to see if they are having the same problems?? LOL. I do..I always want to strike up conversations with pathfinder owners to find out or WARN them if they havent discovered it yet. ( :
How to Remove a Stuck CD
transmission & radiator. I filled out the extended warantee forms, faxed in all required information and they sent me a check. Turnaround was about 2 weeks.
Very pleased with Nissan. As a matter of fact I bought another Nissan (altima) and kept my
pathfinder too.
Dealer Ratings and Reviews
went into sales showroom and asked what they would give me for a trade and they said $13,500 or would buy it for cash. Didn't decide to do anything yet since its paid for and mostly everything replaced now...well except CC's.
Nissan doesn't give one care about this and they are truly crooks and thieves.
I hope you have better luck
However, I'm appalled and amazed at the company's acknowledgement and arrogance not to recall and fix this problem. $5250 was the dealer quote. Will never buy another Nissan again. :mad:

YOU HAVE TO FIGHT IT WITH A LAWYER THATS IN THE FORUMS IF YOU SEARCH FOR HIM:sick:

Keep getting out the message about Nissan in any fashion you can. People need to know how awful the Nissan company is to it's customers. Plus Nissan needs to feel the heat from screwing us.
Considering parking it in front of my office, which is in a very busy, affluent area, with a big sign on it saying NISSAN SUCKS. Of course the dealer is a good guy and a friend so for that reason ONLY I'm reluctant to do so.
Consulting a lawyer, hopefully we can strong arm them.
